§ Sir Knox Cunninghamasked the Postmaster-General if he will make some reduction in the £10 fee charged to telephone subscribers of more than seven years' standing who move within the area of one telephone exchange and thereby relinquish a former telephone in order to install one in a new home.
§ Mr. Edward ShortNo. The scale of charges is related to the work which has to be done to reconnect the customer at his new home. This depends mainly on whether it has previously had a telephone, and not on whether he has been connected elsewhere.
